thank the lord for john lee hooker

I am listening to her,rapt,as usual,but how else would I be,as consumed as I am by that certain she,and in the background,The Best of Friends plays,and I remember some of my bestand some of his best days;his blues,so much different than Coltrane's,and so much starkerthan my small gainsin life, a good bit of struggle,a fair amount of strife,and then consider the two tries of wife;ah, no matter,his playing strikes wellon that vinyl platter:two strikes, not three,John Lee and me,perfect harmony.
